Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Alina was not angry. There was a sinister smile on her lips.
Night slowly fell. Annette was still lying on the sofa without moving at all.
Someone was knocking on the door, and Annette ignored it.
Dwayne's voice sounded, "I'm Dwayne. I brought dinner for you. I came alone. Will you open the door?"
Annette didn't move. She didn't want to see anyone.
She was afraid that when others saw her, they would label her as Lance's illegitimate daughter.
"If you don't want to see me, I'll put it at the door. Please take good care of yourself. You have to think about the baby too."
Annette raised her hand and placed it on her lower abdomen.
"I'll be leaving. Please remember to come out to fetch the food."
The sound at the door disappeared.
After a while, someone knocked on the door again.
"Annette, I'm Roxanne. Open the door."
After she heard Roxanne's voice, Annette finally sat up.
